Value Collection MPPX03025-100BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPX03025-100BX is a metric machine screw with a pan head and Phillips drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The screw follows DIN 7985 standards and features an M3x0.5 thread with a 25 mm length measured under the head. This box contains 100 pieces, making it suitable for production, maintenance, and repair applications where corrosion-resistant metric fasteners are required. Electricians, HVAC technicians, panel fabricators, and general trade professionals use these screws for securing sheet metal, enclosures, control panels, and light-duty mechanical assemblies.

These screws are well suited for indoor and outdoor applications where mild to moderate corrosion resistance is needed. Common installations include electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, instrumentation housings, and light-gauge metal assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides resistance to rust and oxidation in non-chloride environments. The DIN 7985 standard ensures consistent head geometry and drive fit across compatible Phillips drivers and automated fastening tools. This box quantity supports both small-batch repairs and production-line use.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 metric thread with 25 mm length under head per DIN 7985
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in non-chloride environments
• Pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide bearing surface suitable for thin material
• Phillips drive compatible with standard and powered Phillips bits
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating that could interfere with tight-tolerance fits
• Sold in a box of 100 pieces for production and maintenance stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for metric M3x0.5 threaded applications conforming to DIN 7985 pan head Phillips specifications.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips screwdriver or a powered driver fitted with the correct Phillips bit size to avoid cam-out and head damage. Avoid overtorquing stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 alloys are susceptible to galling — apply a fastener lubricant or anti-seize compound when torque consistency is critical. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before installing or removing fasteners in live panels, per applicable NEC guidelines. Do not use in high-chloride or marine environments where 316 stainless steel would be the appropriate material grade.
